There are resorts in Ontario farther east than my resort in NY and NY is considered east so yeah I'd say go with east.

"East coast," while it can be interpreted as a specific geographic location, in skiing I think it just describes the hills more than anything. "Skiing a small east coast hill" says more about the hill, vibes, conditions, culture, etc than where it actually is in my opinion.

I don't know. I don't really think it matters what you call it. It's the eastern side of North America so who gives a fuck

The answer is no. I have lived in Ontario and Nova Scotia. People in Ontario do not consider themselves from the East Coast...or even East. They are considered "upper canadians". The east coast title is reserved for people in the four Atlantic provinces.

DrailNot sure why you put quotations around "west coast". BC is quite literally located on the west coast.

As for Ontario. I've always looked at it as the "inland sea".

Meh... Its east of center. Though if we were in a geography course, calling Ontario "East Coast" would be silly... I've come to realize that East Coast in skiing means you live east of anywhere that has legit mountains.

DoledHexThere have been 0 days in the past 2 seasons where there has been anything even close to pow. Fuck Ontario

Maybe in Toronto where the military gets called in for 10 cm. We got 40-50 cm of blower last year. Better pow day then most placed out west can say they've had (nicer snow then pretty much anywhere on the coastal ranges). Just sucks the terrain it fell on wasn't the best..

Jesse_Not totally true. But the ones who come from out east to work in the west are usually the biggest dicks for some reason.

Probably cause most of the ones you've met are from Toronto. Also the ski jock types. Also Québécois who look down on anyone who isn't French quebecer, although that attitude seems to disappear when they leave Quebec.

People from the east of Canada (maritimes) are without a doubt the nicest people in Canada and probably in north America. The general population in Ontario and Quebec are no less nice than BC and Alberta.

Your probably right.

I've never experienced the Québecois thing though since I'm fluent in french...

kirbstopperSince when does terrain quality equal geographical location haha. Rockies are dope, but they are considered interior BC. They are atleast 8-10 hour drive from the coastal mountain range.

Yes, but I as well as most people on this site would say they are "west coast".... seeing how this thread is on how ontario is considered "east coast" when we are easily 5+ hours from the Atlantic ocean..

Just areas man, if you wanna get specific i do agree that the rockies even have areas... just a matter of perspective at a more macro level
